House Democratic Caucus releases the following statement regarding the Mississippi State Flag.
CAPITOL - This week House Democrats are pushing to get a resolution to the floor that would suspend the rules. The measure would allow for the introduction of new legislation that would remove the divisive symbol of hate and treason from our State flag and adopt a flag that unifies us all.
House Minority Leader Robert L. Johnson, III said, “Mississippi House Democrats for years have consistently urged the Mississippi Legislature to do its job and make tough decisions in the best interest of the people of this State. The decision to remove the Confederate battle emblem from our State Flag is one of those decisions; it is our decision to make, and the time to make it is now.”
House Democrats are prepared to vote against any measure short of taking an up or down vote for change!
